PLATTSMOUTH — Authorities who detained an illegal immigrant during a traffic stop in Plattsmouth found he’s wanted for murder in El Salvador.
The Plattsmouth Police Department says a background check on 35-year-old Mario Ramirez-Canizales revealed that he is in the U.S. illegally and is wanted by Interpol for homicide.
He and three other men found to be illegal immigrants were reported to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following Monday morning’s traffic stop.
Gerardo Acacia-Cortes, a fifth man who was driving the vehicle, was arrested for suspicion of driving with a suspended license. There is also an outstanding warrant for the 24-year-old’s arrest by Omaha Police.
